Mobile Non Destructive Testing and Inspection Software

The sector of non-destructive testing and inspection requires intricate data collection recorded in a very detailed and methodical manner.

Non-destructive testing involves non-invasive methods of analysing the the properties, such as strength, durability etc of a material, components, system of components etc without causing it any damage or changing it in any way.

It is a very valuable technique of testing for research, troubleshooting and product evaluation as it saves time, resources and thereby significant capital too.

Testing of any kind requires elaborate observations to be taken in a very systematic fashion in order not to miss anything that happens during the testing process. A lot of times, small things can go unnoticed by people who conduct the test due to human error, stemming from everything from negligence to random chance circumstances and just plain ol’ Murphy’s law.

The use of a mobile application to track the progress of testing procedures as well as to record observations, helps in multiple ways:

Firstly, it ensures that a systematic procedure is followed, avoiding the accidental skipping of steps, the application can be designed to instruct the observer to follow certain steps and require them to provide feedback for the same before moving on to the next step. This ensures that a thorough analysis is done and that no bias can set in that may change the total data collected.

The loss of any observed data due to loss or destruction of a physical medium used to record observations can be prevented by doing away with the physical media altogether. Forms, notebooks, and paper tend to either get misplaced or get damaged easily leading to losses in data that can sometimes even go unnoticed, leading to lapses in the data used for analysis.

The entry of data into a digital system directly from the source also completely gets rid of the need to re-enter information that has been recorded on physical media, as most analysis required data to be fed into a digital system following which report generation etc are done through it.

The solution of a mobile application for non destructive testing can be used in a large variety of industries, including:

Forensic engineering

Mechanical engineering

Electrical engineering

Civil engineering

Systems engineering

Aeronautical engineering

Metallurgy

Medicine

Archeology

Art etc.
